To add to this, while there have been complaints about this being a witch hunt/the right must be better than the left/ must forgive, etc., cancel culture in these cases is good because it reinforces a baseline morality, and reinforces the shift in the Overton window.
Frankly, I just don't care about the morality of it anymore - these niggers have sowed the wind for a decade and I hope they reap the whirlwind tenfold.
 
So I have a question for all my fellow Kiwi Sisters. What do you really think would have happened if Trump didn’t have Gods luck Saturday? What do you think the real reaction would be? How fast do you think he things would escalate if they even escalate at all.

Immediate riots country wide for sure at least.

Well, white people don't riot, or at least they don't riot even 10% as easily as vibrant and diverse Americans do, so it's hard to tell.
 
Discovery will never sell CNN unless they absolutely have to because of the power it gives them.

CNN is legacy media, a 24-7 news network which forever survives off of Boomer/Gen X memories of when it was actually relevant and had credibility in the 80s and 90s.

And if you are a mega corporation, a news network like CNN is valuable even if you lose money with it because it gives you cultural power to reshape reality.
Or musk could just build news network. He got money to burn

No if it was true God given luck we wouldn’t have had blasphemers. That should inform you. Either Trump will put himself on the cross or he’ll let more jeets lead him in prayer. What it really was is meme magic.
 
The Overton window shifted for the first time in years, leaving them out of it.

I am finding it greatly amusing to see TDSers fedposting as if nothing had happened, since they always had the privilege of doing so, and FAFOing.
Not only did it shift, it shifted HARD and FAST to the right overnight. Almost like the Overton Engineering they have been using to force the window hard to the left for oh, decades finally failed.

Someone on twitter once called it the "frame game." The trick is thus: The most extreme far righty opinions -- white supremacy, for one example -- is and always will be permanently and firmly outside of the overton window barring some sort of fundamental realigning of American culture to the point that the US would no longer exist as we know it. But there should be a spectrum of ideas from centerist to center right to righty to fringe righty to batshit righty.

The natural window is something like this, and I'm going to fuck this up cause it's been too long since I've articulated the idea:

Batshit left - fringe left - unpopular left - popular left - centerist - popular right - unpopular right - fringe right - batshit right

Unacceptable
- rejected politically - a bit weird - acceptable - acceptable - acceptable - a bit weird - rejected politically - Unacceptable

But if you intentionally pretend there's no difference between center right and batshit righty -- if you call everyone, literally everyone, to the right of Mao a nazi and a facist and 'alt right' and maybe even get a bunch of fucking retards like Nick Fuentes to try and claw and drag the conservatives along for the ride or at least rub his stench all over them -- then a massive amount of the options... fall out of the overton window. Truly batshit ideas will never not be batshit -- and because of that, any ideas that are successfully tied to them fall right out the window as well.

So. You claim anything past a certain "barely acceptable" level (decided by the left, of course) of righty ideas are actually unacceptable. here's how the window now looks:

Batshit - FringeToBatshit - Fringe - Unpopular left - Popular Left - Centerist - Popular Right - [missing] - Batshit

How, here's where the real fun happens, and why they've been doing this. The overton window is a spectrum of acceptable ideas. What happens when you engineer things like this?

Well, as you can see, you slide everything to the left, a lot. The only acceptable stance, politically, is leftist -- at least populist leftist political opinions and policies, if not the more unpopular ones. Fringe ideas like child transitioning become "unpopular but not whackadoodle ideas." On the other side, even being centerist or moderate is a bit weird, on the edges of what's considered acceptable. Actual righty ideas that are popular become fringe ideas, things you can believe in, but you probably shouldn't talk about in polite company. And everything past that becomes completely unacceptable to talk about, things that will get you disowned, disbarred, fired, et cetera -- things like meritocracy. Being a leftist becomes "the norm" and being a conservative makes you inherently a fringe element of society. And groups like the DSA, BAMN, and Antifa become unpopular but not unacceptable elements of society.

The left started the relevant version of this shit with "Punch a Nazi" with Richard Spencer. That -- political violence -- was always a fringe idea, unacceptable to most. But the frame game the left was playing slid it into "a bit weird but it won't force the DNC to pull support from you" territory,

But they lost control, perhaps temporarily, of the overton window. So now that little joking thing -- "ha ha, we should assault our political opponents in the street" (or rather, it's more fringe "we should kill our political opponents!" version) has gone from a bit weird to whackadoodle or outright unacceptable (where it belongs).


Wonder if the shift will cause shit like child grooming transitioning to fall out of the "unpopular but not reviled" edge of the window, or if the media will rally and help seize control of the overton window again. We'll see if they keep pretending everyone to the right of obama is a nazi that deserves death.

Teddy's like the exception that proves the rule. McKinley only picked him for VP because he was that firebrand conservative politician who could have made trouble for him if he didn't.

Robert Caro certainly does. The modern day Democrats certainly follow his playbook even if they don't quite worship the man the way the neocon wing seem to worship Ron Reagan
The left hated LBJ until they needed an asshole bully boy Democrat President for Obama to emulate, which led to an LBJ restoration project to redeem him after the left previously scapegoated LBJ in order to protect Kennedy's legacy by 100% putting the blame for Vietnam on him.
 
daily mail has what they claim are interviews with new information about Crooks

Article | Archive

Speaking on condition of anonymity, one person who knows the family well said, 'He was a cute kid, maybe a little bit off, maybe a little bit of a loner.

'But in the past couple of years he started suffering what we all suspected was mental health issues.'

The friend, who has known the family throughout Crooks's childhood, continued, 'We never knew for sure if he had been diagnosed or if he was being medicated but he started growing his hair long, he withdrew.
Contrary to what one 'friend' has publicly claimed in recent days those who spoke with DailyMail.com insist he did not dress in hunting or camouflage gear but instead was always smartly turned out in a polo shirt and pants or shorts.

A source said, 'He was always smartly dressed. He came from a good family – his mother is a very nice woman, and his father is actually very accomplished. I believe at one point he was earning between $300,000 and $500,000 a year.'
Certainly, they said, something shifted in Crooks in recent years. He appears with a smile in every school yearbook until 2020, his sophomore year and the start of the global pandemic.

After that he is absent, failing to show up for his yearbook photograph and a ghost in every group shot.

According to the friend, 'Honestly we knew him less and less the older he got.'
And while friends try to make sense of how a little boy morphed into a would-be assassin who killed a father of two as he protected his family and gravely wounded two others, they speculated over how long the family would remain in the community in which they have lived most of their lives.

'The police are here now but once they leave there's talk that they'll have to move and that the house will be razed so it doesn't become a target for retribution,' said one neighbor.
every article we get closer and closer to revealing the truth of him being an upper-middle-class autistic nerd who got suckered in by glownigger commie/tranny propaganda during 2020. and they're going to raze the building to cover their tracks

bonus, first picture of the father that i've seen so far

There was supposed to be a SWAT detail on that roof helping provide overwatch, but that entire SWAT team went inside because it was too hot. Someone let them make that call, and I'm willing to bet it goes to the Garland-led FBI.
It wasn't because it was too hot. Cheatle (the director of SS) confirmed it was because the roof was sloped and it was a "safety concern". So it's possible it came from or was at least okayed by her. Here's hoping day 1 of Trump being back in office she's fired immediately. What a colossal fuck up.

I'll accept 1980s through Gulf War I. But pretty much from 1992 through the end of the decade, it rightfully earned its derisive name as the "Clinton News Network."
 
also his cause of death has been officially ruled as getting smoked in the head by SS

The Butler County Coroner tells TMZ ... Crooks died from a gunshot wound to the head, and the coroner is ruling his death a homicide. Of course, he was shot and killed by a Secret Service agent after he opened fire into the crowd in Butler, PA this weekend.
 
Well, white people don't riot, or at least they don't riot even 10% as easily as vibrant and diverse Americans do, so it's hard to tell.
That’s why Trumps going after the brown vote so hard this time. So just in case his black brothers can start the riots off and make White people feel ok to do it. “I mean if Jamal is burning down the Target maybe I can to!”

The Secret Service denies that they blamed local police for Trump getting shot:

Our agency relies on the support of courageous police officers and local partners. We are deeply grateful for their unwavering commitment and bravery. Any suggestion otherwise is simply not true.
OUR AGENCY, COMPOSED OF DEDICATED PROFESSIONALS, MANY FROM STATE & LOCAL DEPARTMENTS, CANNOT FULFILL OUR MISSION WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF COURAGEOUS POLICE OFFICERS. WE ARE DEEPLY GRATEFUL TO THE OFFICERS WHO RAN TOWARDS DANGER TO LOCATE THE GUNMAN AND TO ALL OUR LOCAL PARTNERS FOR THEIR UNWAVERING COMMITMENT. ANY NEWS SUGGESTING THE SECRET SERVICE IS BLAMING LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR SATURDAY'S INCIDENT IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE.
